Collages by Dave Armstrong

When: Jan. 21-March 1 2013

With just some magazines, a sharp blade, rubber cement and a pencil, Dave Armstrong can make you one hell of a piece of art. His collages look nearly like photographs. ("I strive to make images that could almost exist in reality," Armstrong says in a press release. "A slight twist makes all the difference.") A colleague of Armstrong's at Colorado College even uses one of the artist's pieces when he teaches his classes about James Joyce's Ulysses. Good stuff, I promise. See Armstrong's work any time between now and March 1 — which will also be the day of a closing reception — at Dogtooth Coffee Co. (505 E. Columbia St., #100, dogtoothcoffee.com). — Edie Adelstein
